This is a beautiful clean and soft Kenyan profile that represents this year’s harvest. This lot is an AA from Gathaithi Cooperative. Tasting notes of pear, yellow plum and white currant.

Before processing, farmers hand-sort the cherries to remove unripe and overripe ones. An Agaarde disc pulping machine is used to remove the skin and pulp from the cherries. The coffees are then graded by density into three categories by the pulper: Grade 1 and 2 are considered higher quality and are fermented separately, while Grade 3 is categorised as a lower grade. The coffee is fermented for 16-24 hours under closed shade. After fermentation, the beans are washed and again graded by density in washing channels and are then soaked under clean water from the Gatomboya stream for 16-18 hours. The coffee is then sun-dried for up to 21 days on African drying beds. The drying time will depend on weather conditions. The coffee is covered with plastic during midday and at night for protection.

MEET THE ROASTER

Dak Coffee Roasters

Dak Coffee Roasters was founded by Louis-Philippe Boucher & Veronique Lagarde in 2019. Originally from Montreal, Canada, the duo roamed around Europe for more than 8 years before settling in Amsterdam where they founded the roastery. Dak means “roof” in Danish, and it was a moment in 2019 when Louis-Philippe was sitting on the roof of his home, drinking coffee when he decided to start his own roastery. Dak now consists of a small team of six

Coffee has always been part of our lives, although our love for specialty coffee has grown exponentially in the past few years. After working many years respectively in Finance & Marketing, we decided to pursue our dream, opening a coffee roastery. Dak was born from true passion for coffee and the desire to embark on a journey of endless discoveries.

We select our coffees based on their unique tasting profiles and of course that are 100% fully traceable. We partner with importers that share our values and we roast each one of our coffees carefully to bring the best flavours they have to offer.
—Louis-Philippe & Veronique
